Houston Texans' 2018 draft: Analysis for every pick

Breaking down the Houston Texans' 2018 draft class.

Round 3, No. 68 overall: Justin Reid, S, Stanford

My take: This was a good pick for the Texans, who needed to improve the secondary after the unit ranked 24th last season in yards allowed per game. General manager Brian Gaine made it clear that Houston felt it did enough in free agency to have the flexibility to draft the best available player instead of just for need. If Reid was at the top of the Texans' draft board, they were able to do that while also filing a need.
